  My now husband and I chose Ferrante’s Lakeview as our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception venue and we are totally pleased! We live 3 hours away in the Dc/Maryland/Virginia area, so we only came twice in person to go over details and what not. The rest, we did via E-Mail with Suzie. They provided mostly everything we needed at a very affordable cost! I was a little worried about the location being so close to a main road-but the gazebo area was kind of isolated away from it all, and I didn’t even notice! Plus, our pictures had a great backdrop :). Suzie and Cindy were very helpful with everything, and the whole wedding went without a hitch! I highly recommend this venue for anyone who’s getting married!

  This place is the pits. This may be the worst place I have ever seen to have a wedding. Firstly, the facility, there were weeds growing throughout all of the plants. There was also a random and very tacky Statute of Liberty (holding a light bulb and not a torch) near the gazebo. The ballroom had a musty smell and the carpets looked worn. The bathrooms were dark and dingy and smelled like a Steeler game just let out. The lighting was very dark and made taking pictures very difficult inside. It also was very hot in the ballroom and it seemed that it got hotter as the party was getting closer to the end (maybe they turned the air off).Second, the gazebo, being that is was an outdoor wedding ceremony you would have thought that there would have been a sound system that had speakers outside of the gazebo. But not this place. The only sound system were the speakers in the ceiling of the gazebo. With Route 30 only a short distance away, being able to hear the ceremony was impossible. Also there were bees and all kind of other insects flying around. Thank God no one was stung. Thirdly, the food, the appetizers were nothing special. They were basically frozen food that was either deep fried or just reheated. They were not very warm either. The dinner choices were Chicken Romano and Tilapia. I had the Chicken Romano. It was very dry. So dry that one person at my table asked for gravy, when the manager, Suzie Domasky, brought out a butter sauce the person said I hope this helps because this chicken is very dry. The managers reply was I hope so. After the wedding, I was so hungry that we went to Wendys for a chicken sandwich that was so much moister and had better taste. How sad is that?Finally, the staff, at best they were not responsive to the guests needs. At the rehearsal no one from this place was there. The buildings were locked and no rest room facilities were available for use during the rehearsal. The manager, in her Mercedes, stopped by for a few minutes as the bridal party arrived, but did not stay or help out with anything. Being someone who worked over 5 years (through High School and College) working banquets/weddings I have an understanding of what the staff should be doing. The manager acted as if she was being bothered when asked any question. The minister asked if there is a lectern available, and the manager asked if he brought one. Guess he should keep one in his pocket. The one she brought out had no holder for the microphone and had Lakeview written on it. He did not use it. The waitresses were just rude. During the ceremony, the waitresses were putting water glasses at each table and spilled water on many of the seats and then had to recover each of the seats. I guess they didnt realize that you could move the glass away from the table when pouring the water. When clearing the dishes they just reached in and grabbed the dishes and never excused themselves nor asked if anyone was finished (not that the food was edible). After dinner they brought coffee around but when they walked around to see if anyone wanted another cup they just walked around holding the pot never stopping at the table to ask if anyone wanted more. When they were serving the cake (there was white and chocolate cakes) they never asked what you wanted, they just tossed it in front of you like you would throw food down in front of a stray dog. The Maid of Honor asked for coffee with her cake and was told that she could not have any now. The waitress attitude was lets get everything out so we can go home. In these times with high unemployment they should be grateful to have a job. The only staff that had any manners what so ever was the bartender. He was attentive and quick to help. Needless to say, I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you are planning a wedding or any other event here good luck. This place is a joke.

  Btw, that’s a pic of the high chair they provided me with! Disgusting! It was also broke! Hello liability!17 Apr, 2012Attended a hockey banquet. After attending this dump hole for several years for different functions and weddings, I’m sorry to say it just keeps getting worse! We had already guessed the menu hours before we got there. Same old frozen or canned garbage. I didn’t think you could mess up canned corn but clearly they can do it! That place could kill it but instead they refuse to put any money back into the business. The decor is so tacky and outdated, it’s ridiculous! They added a sun room to the front which I thought they would put some nice plants and make it a decent sitting room….. But they turned it into an office! Really? I don’t want to see your unorganized desk. It’s a shame. Put a few hundred thousand in renovations. hire a chef and use FRESH food- you would be the premier banquet center! So sad!
